Day thirty one of Blogtoberfest! Horrah

Phew you have managed to trawl through a month of daily blogging from me so you deserve a horrah as well.

I have drawn a lucky winner. All people who posted on my blog during Blogtoberfest were counted. For every post you did - you got an entry. Cool ha! The prize is a Anette Eriksson Chaetaeu Kit. The whole kabudle people!





The lucky person was.....

The best thing today so far... us all sharing hot chips at the playground when it was cold.

From the kitchen... making chicken ranadang for dinner. Ummm might go and make macaroons...

I am wearing... socks, jeans, black long sleeve top with floral top and hubbies blue polar fleece.

I am creating... need to snip rag quilt and begin quilting the Oh Christmas Tree quilt.

I am going... to the kitchen to start making macaroons.

I am reading... The Kite Runner for book club - really slowly...

I am hoping... the macaroons work!

I am hearing... The older two planning on something to do and Michael shuffling paper on his desk.

Around the house... Gus sleeping, screen free day and new toaster in kitchen.

Day twenty seven of Blogtoberfest


There is something about watching your seeds come to life and grow right in front of your eyes. I will be fiercely protective when they go out in the garden. Warning slugs and snails - you will be dealt with - severly.

Day twenty five of Blogtoberfest

Yup. I made this. Impressed or what? Seriously thought there was no way I could do it. Still bought the kit. Then believed there was no way I could actually make it look good enough. Bought the fabric. Then thought there would be no way I would get around to it. Then made it. Happy I am. Poppet from Nicole Mallalieu Design. I have my eye on making one of these this summer.

In the spirit of Blogtoberfest I will be having a giveaway to celebrate the complete month of blogging. Promise. It is coming.

Day twenty four of Blogtoberfest


The lovely lovely Jan visited us today with her cute little one. We talked about rag quilts and many other things. I am still in the process of adding more blocks. A last minute decision. I loved how she binded her rag quilt. Nothing like I have seen before. Worth the wait. Must be patient Sarah...

Day twenty two of Blogtoberfest


Thankyou DH for taking the boys to the show. I got to iron these shapes down. Wonder how long it will take me to actually quilt it. A bit ergy about the thought!
